Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th December 2025.

20th December, 2025.


OK … 

I’ve got another earworm, this morning.

It’s my own damn fault: I had a sudden mental image of a reporter, and her camera crew, turning up to report on people who are dancing.

And … ?

Bam: I get DJ Casper turning up … 


Alongside a bunch of line dancing Chicagoans, and a camera crew … 

~≈👯≈~

On other fronts … ?

I’ve finished my review of “The Witch of the Waterfall”, the most recent episode of The War Between the Land and the Sea.

“It’s sad that years later shots were put on the Internet ignoring the context and exploiting the nudity.   It never occurred to me at the time it would be possible to do this.”
Jenny Agutter, born 20 December 1952.
And an Anita Ward song …

Just as a thought for everyone … ?

I’ve just had Penny phone me.

In other words, a call from Trevor’s partner — widow? — to let me know what’s happening.

She has told me that she’s sadly not been able to find his funeral plans.

But is in the process of setting up a memorial page for him.

I’ll pass that on, as soon as I can.

Q1) Australia

Q2) Bosnia and Herzegovina

Q3) basketball

Q4) the United Nations

Q5) Panama
Shame about the funeral plans for Trevor, but I am sure he would have been happy with whatever she decides to do. Thanks, Paul, and keep us posted.
Oh, yesterday was very busy and a very long day. (We had the radio station Christmas meal, but there were about 250 people this year, 100 more than last year, so just setting the tables, and organising things took a long time. When they publish the item with the pictures I'll share a link).
Take care.
